The importance of privacy, security, legal and green computing awareness for society

 Now day online social networking expanded exponentially , with the biggest names in social media such as Facebook , Instagram , Twitter and SnapChat. We all enjoy keeping up with friends and family on social media but we have to be aware of our privacy and security when we do.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRIVACY


   Privacy is a limit on government power, as well as the power of private sector companies. The more someone knows about us , the more power they can over us.Personal data is used to make extremely important decision in our lives. Personal data can be used to affect our reputations and it can be used to influenced our decision and shape our behavior . It can be used as a tool to exercise control over us.And in the wrong hands, personal data can be used to cause us great harm.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SECURITY


 


Protecting important data, confidential information, networks, software, equipment, facilities, company's assets, and security staff should do some level of cost-benefit analysis to ensure that the resources expended on training do not exceed the benefit.
 Usage of social media using the work place network by the employees makes it prone to viruses and malware attack . This is a serious issue and poses a great threat to the security of confidential data across the organisation . User login credentials , customer information and other sensitive information that these malweres decode could easily take a toll on the organisation's reputation making it lose customer trust.By clearly educating employees to restrict the usage of social media and not fall a prey to click bait links , you can prevent such mishaps that could potentially happen to your company.


THE IMPORTANCE OF LEGAL FOR  SOCIAL NETWORKING 

    A copyright protects the owner of one kind of intellectual property. Only certain kinds of works which fall within the U.S Copyright Act can be copyrighted. The copyright process has become fairly simple with traditional works like books , plays , movies , and theater . But copyright is a little more difficult with the advent of the internet.For example ,blogger must be aware of what they write to avoid copyright .And before you use an image from the internet you need to be sure to get a license of public domain image.This article looks specifically at various social media sites and their copyright policies.

IMPORTANCE OF GREEN COMPUTING


   Green Computing is important because it keeps the world cleaner. It saves our natural resource that we need to survive . If green computing was never developed , the world would be dirtier than it already is . It also makes our electronic devices work more efficiently and last longer.It teaches people how to be grateful about what they have to take it for granted. Most of the people don't appreciate all the things that they have that other people would never dream of having. For example : computer , television and laptop .
